Pamela:  We have traveled in the Dordogne area and have been both to the 
beautiful city of Sarlat as well as Domme.  I don't know that United 
would have any flights closer than maybe to Paris on which you could use 
your FF miles, but you can easily get Easyjet from Paris to either 
Toulouse (an hour south of Sarlat) or Bordeaux, to the west.   Or if you 
fly into London Gatwick you can also get an Easyjet flight from there to 
either city, where you could rent your car.  Personally I think the 
drive up from Toulouse is much prettier and probably easier, and you 
would see the towns of Cahors and Rocamadour on the way. It is about 100 
miles.

Check out www.easyjet.com for their flight schedules.  We have used them 
many times and they are a very good and dependable "no-frills" European 
airline.  And of course you could also ride the TGV train from Paris to 
either Toulouse or Bordeaux (Paris to Bordeaux is about 3 hours).
